Soloing @ Victoria Drum Fest 2024

Ahhhhh Rob this was like a 5 course meal man!!! Plenty of taste, texture, and tranquility. Totally brought me to a chill perspective. Kit and cymbals sound amazing as well. Keep them coming Rob...we need this!

You know that while this performance was fantastic, smooth, etc, you also know that he only had his foot on the throttle a tiny bit.

Nice! Feeling your matched grip self today :) Held interest w/dynamics, rhythmic changes, occasional flurries...I'll call this another lesson. Thanks! Edit: Beautiful kit!

Ya sounded great rob. Glad ya got to do it brother.!!!!

very tasteful drumming! but no cowbell bro?

It's always a pleasure hearing any drum solo from Rob! The man just speaks through those drums, and you can't help but listen! 😁

I've been following you since your subscriber numbers were in the 30K range ............ .look at you NOW !!!!! CONGRATS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations, Rob. Your instructional videos have made a huge impact on this drum enthusiast. It’s fun to see you get this platform and nail it. Well done.

I live in Vancouver, I’m a drummer and have never heard of this! 😂 And, I follow RB’s YT. 😅

i dig that at 5 minutes. real coolness there.

Well what can I say. Very well done Mr. Brown

Now that's drum set music, Rob! So proud of all your many achievements, you're definitely living what a lot of us drummers are dreaming of ✌🏼🙏🏼

Love this Rob. Just so damn groovy.
I’m off to practice.. right now.
You’re the man!

Which Paiste cymbals did you use here?

Not only does he play a amazing and dynamic solo,but the sound of Rob's drums and cymbals are incredibly well defined and present in the mix (yup,a solo)-i am a big fan of the 8x14 wooden snare drum,Metal shells also-not to loud,not ringing,but sittting right in the middle of everything.good ,or rather-GREAT solo,and awesome videos in the lessons online.

Thanks for sharing this, Rob. Everything you play is tasteful and inspiring.

I hate Drum Solo's, Always thought being drummer was being a musician 1st. (And I picked up my sticks when I was 8 yrs old ?). This is NOT a solo imho, this is just pure Rhythm Nation ! (Very Gadd like). I know the Blast Beat types are going to go meh. Fk'em. This is one cool cat on the drums. Loved it 🙏

Unique. Musical. Deep groove.

Rob never disappoints! Well done man!🤘🏼

👍🙂‼️ Sweeeeeeeeeeet!!!!!!‼️

So musical. That was excellent!

Rob, your drums speak volumes.

Rob it was great watching your live performance. Your drumming was a story that unfolded gradually. The gentle kiss on the drums was fabulous. It was smooth like a whisky. The whole episode was very peaceful. ❤

Such a musical solo. Awesome technique Rob 😎🥁

Classy, I love it! 🥁

Yeah, man. This is fine. I'm starting my fifth year following and learning and loving the stuff you lay down. Thanks so much for everything!

Very nice!!

Beautiful solo, Rob! 🤘😎🥁

Excellent performance Rob and thanks for bringing modern soloing back down to earth!! 👍👍👍👍

Effortless controlled playing. Love it !!

All I can say is WOW 😳😳😳😳🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Great chops all while being musical with great phrasing ideas! And so relaxed!

Rob Beatdown Brown is in Town bringing down the house !

That kit looks so good under the lights!

Superiorperforme

The spacing of notes and expressions are top notch !!! Love it

That was quite good, Rob. More of these. Was that the house kit?

Another display of pure musical genius. Those tasty grooves had me standing up dancing my way back to my drum room.

Nice, smooth, musical solo. Great job, Rob!

That's pretty good, Rob Brown,
I like the hi-hat foot thing when you're playing the rest of the RHS of he kit and I think a lot of non-musicians wonder how you do that!

Awesome!

Mate that was awesome dude!! You’d the man !!!!

I was so lucky to be there and it was super amazing! Watching him perform was so cool, and his advice was really inspiring 💪

Tony, Thompson, and Buddy Rich all rolled into one

Some very tasteful drumming on display.

Beautiful solo Mr Brown! Kept me dancing in the chair while watching till the last seconds :) I wonder if you use any hearing protection while gigging and practicing?

I had the pleasure of opening Victoria Drum Fest this year out in gorgeous Victoria B.C. Trust me when I tell y'all how grateful I was...and still am to have been invited to perform at this cool event. I started making drum videos in the basement 18 years ago. The introduction and walk up those stage steps was definitely a defining moment for me! 😊
